But you can't even fall the right way. I know sambo instructors who won't even let students roll if they can't fall correctly, so how did you get numerous black belts?
Hmm...promises to provide us with "correct" information and shiny certificates, where have I heard this before?
If you want "civilized" discussions, try not to attack the opposition. Just saying.
The gradeschool I attended went bankrupt in 2006. Does this mean that, even though it was a legit school, I no longer graduated from grade school? Of course not. Only if you purchased rank from a diploma mill would any of what you just said matter.
Hmm...so you were suppossed to work with a doctor who was going to certify you. Even though he never worked with you, you still claimed expertise? I sincerely hope that this is not what you meant, but fear that it is.
And as for the claims that the numerous websites investigating you had nothing to do with retracting that false statement, I'll just drink the Kool Aid...
If your certificates were legit in the first place, then this is not needed. However, in case you plan on faking certificates and hoping we won't notice, I would suggest reading the Matthew Morton thread. But you don't plan on doing that, so don't worry about it. -

Well, I am.
For one, if it "works" it's not because you built up enough ki, it's because you braced your body for the punches you knew were coming. If it doesn't work, then it's because, as you said, it "doesn't always work".
In other words, your mind will only remember the times you set yourself properly, and falsely attribute it to ki. When it doesn't work, it falls into the "Oh well this time it didn't but next time...." category. It's unfalsifiable.
I'm sure IIF can talk more about this -

I agree w/ It Is Fake about the fact that as you state it, your ki position is not falsifiable in a scientific sense, but perhaps the demonstration could be attempted in a way that would satisfy both sides? For this to happen, you would have to provide a specific case in which a certain outcome would not be possible without ki playing a role, and which would therefore make a demonstration fail w/o it.
It would have to be shown to also work against a non-compliant skeptic, with a legitimate martial background.
It would have to involve ki alone (ie, some sleight of hand or psychological trick would have to be ruled out).
It would have to avoid ambiguous, incomparable circumstances that involve internal states (ie, someone using ki to make a blow hurt them less than a person without it would fail this requirement).
Can you propose a scenario like this where you would consent to have your claims tested? -

I dont know that I alone can satisfy all these thingsa you ask for. However, if many of us put our heads to work. i think we could figure it out. And yes, i will provide all the rank certificates on my site just for you guys. Then Im done with all of this. No I never made the claim to be a professionaL IN MEDICINE OR ANYTHING OF THIS NATURE. I said that Dr. James Tinnell was going to work with me in the life extension area of the once to be operation. He decided to decline. I was going to refer clients to him and he was going to run the blood panels and prescribe hormones if needed.
